why I think #lambdaMOO and #lisp indie #gameDev are our way forward with reference to #Heinlein's Cat Who Walks Through Walls (I made it to the last book, so...)

#music is gonna be @flockofnazguls #ModularTransmission live show from this week

I reworked my common lisp pseudo-MOO server to be a metacircularly programmable MOO first and foremost using a DSLGopher

I have managed to join. I will listen to both #anonradio and the debate for extended cacophony!
in reply to Alexander Shendi

Yeah, we're watching the debate here at home, so I have a different time conflict than usual. We're usually out at this time. But I don't think the "cacaphony" would fly here. I'll have to pick up the show on tape later. Hope it's going well!

@nosrednayduj had me choose different music at least. I guess I was feeling a bit techno-optimistic today, so I did my best to refer people to your log article directly https://netsettlement.blogspot.com/2024/09/repairing-democracy.html

Thanks for making it @alexshendi !

@pkw @flockofnazguls @prahou @northernlights

The other music was by @lehto @socool @xylander by the way.

in reply to screwlisp

is there a public link for @wrog's moo-mode ? People are asking me for it and I remembered you saying you and he use that. I was just using lisdude's fork of rmoo-mode before tinyfugue

Go to https://wrog.net/emacs/
get mud-mcp.el

(and maybe also the rest of the files there except for mud-mcp_2_0.el which is just an earlier version of mud-mcp.el, except they won't really matter if you don't actually use MCP)

I should probably put together an actual page, but what you want from there is mud-mcp.el

which is really an MCP implementation, but you don't have to care about that. Down at the bottom (scroll to "comint.el support") you'll see there's a definition for

M-x mud-mcp-connect

which is really all you need.

Well okay, that, and a

mud-sites.el

file with a list of sites, e.g.,

in reply to Roger Crew✅❌☑🗸❎✖✓✔

the mud-sites.el file needs to look like this:

(defconst mud-sites
'(
;;;
;;; NAME TYPE HOST PORT
;;;
("LambdaMOO" MOO "lambda.moo.mud.org" 8888)
))

;; this being the file format that mud.el (which had drivers for a wide variety of mud types and thus references the 2nd column to see which one to use, but mud-mcp only knows about talking to MOOs, so the 2nd column gets ignored) uses.

I, of course, have a much larger list of entries in mine, but most of them are 25+ years old and long gone

... though, surprisingly there are 4 or 5 still up that I would not have expected... (not sure how much advertising their owners want, so I'll leave it at that for now...)

in reply to Roger Crew✅❌☑🗸❎✖✓✔

"I should probably put together an actual page,"

This is now done
https://wrog.net/emacs/

meaning I wrote a bunch of text
expanding on what I said here, explaining stuff that might otherwise have seemed mysterious. Also added some files. And some reminiscing.

Anyway this is now My Page of Emacs Shit That I Wrote That I Still Use. Enjoy.

(a relatively small collection, but there you have it; it might yet grow if I discover other things that I still use 🙂 )

That's really great wrog, it's wonderful to vicariously experience personal histories of emacs (and mooing) like you've put together here for those of us who weren't-there at the time, or maybe just aren't there yet.
@nosrednayduj @kentpitman
thank you for your pages that are kinda like this too.

Iam very intrigued about this moo thing, i saw in internet that it is like a multiplayer asci game and chat at the same time?
in reply to SΛDIΣL :verified_multi:

"Text-based Virtual Reality" is the phrase of art -- which I'll guess seems rather steampunk in a world that has stupidly high network bandwidth, streaming video and all manner of high-quality graphical MMORPGs available --but maybe Programmable Chat Room on Steroids designed back in the day when "object-oriented programming" was considered exciting would be closer to the mark.

but yeah...

I see some relationship with this and @neauoire paradise game https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/paradise.html I wonder if he was inspired by mood. Tag me if you plan another mood session and if iam free i might participate.
in reply to SΛDIΣL :verified_multi:

Every Wednesday 000UTC we will be in paradise sushi, though lambda exists all the time.
Hypothetically Fridays 1400UTC, but since I moved I haven't managed to make it live.
We can always ask @neauoire directly how consciously influenced they were by MOOing. @jlamothe any relation viz paradise?

@wrog
I guess symbolic processing sounds cyberpunk too, or baroque.

@nosrednayduj @kentpitman @alexshendi @pkw @flockofnazguls @prahou @northernlights @lehto @socool @xylander

in reply to screwlisp

Paradise was inspired by a MUD I had running on my server at the time. I wanted to get rid of the idea of players altogether, where everything would be a vessel. I've never tried MOO, but I would have loved it!
